United Kingdom  • 1956

Presentation

Tim Bickerton is born in 1956 in Shropshire, UK. He attended The Sheffield Art School from 1974 to 1978. While studying, Tim worked summers in a stained glass studio, in South-West of France.


After 1980, he worked as a prop-master for the Nottingham Playhouse. This allowed him to expand his visual vocabulary and his knowledge of materials.

He eventually became a freelance set-designer, working on shows in London's west end and other places in the UK.


Between 1988 and 1995, Time worked as a realist sculptor and art director, creating museum projects and site specific installations for exhibitions around Great Britain, the Caribbean and Egypt.

Tim is his inspired by his travels. In 1979 he cycled from Sheffield to Southern of France. The physical discipline this required has helped him to gain focus and to overcome negativity. His lifelong affinity with the South-West region of France culminated in a permanent move in 1990.


Another Place that is important to Tim is New York, which he has visited frequently, staying at a friend's apartment overlooking the World Trade Centre site. Between 2002 and 2005 Tim made a series of paintings based on post 9/11 view of this vast space that had so tragically been created in the middle of the city.

Finally, his travels in India inspired a series of vibrant and boldly colored canvases.

Tim Bickerton claims that, “The paintings are about the act of painting."
